Summary

Texas hospitals are treating children with vitamin A poisoning linked to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s promotion of the supplement as a measles treatment.

At Covenant Children’s hospital in Lubbock, patients with measles showed abnormal liver function due to excessive vitamin A intake.

Kennedy, the U.S. health secretary, claimed vitamin A dramatically reduces measles mortality. Experts warn his messaging confuses parents and downplays the proven protection of the MMR vaccine.

The U.S. faces its worst measles outbreak in decades, with nearly 500 cases across 21 states and two confirmed deaths.

    Literally everyone will die after taking the vaccine, be it one day or a hundred years later. Nobody has ever died from the vaccine. We’ve studied this, there is no potential way for a person to die from being injected with a target antigen.

      Doesn’t matter if you are right or if you are wrong. A good, honest study includes all participants, and everything medically that happened to them.
